Interesting...
Richardson was a Stalwart.
He was SECDEF when I was working in the Pentagon.
A Good Man & True...
Broad Shoulders & Integrity...
However, the issue here is whether he was a descendant of John Winthrop The
Elder [c. 1587-1649] or not.

Dear Spencer and other interested parties,
Attorney General [and SECDEF -- DSH] Elliott Lee Richardson was the 2nd
son of Dr Edward Pierson and Clara Lee Richardson (nee Shattuck) of
Boston, MA. Descendant of Samuel, son of Thomas and Katherine
Richardson (nee Duxford), as well as William Shattuck, Joseph
Bolles and the Cabot family (See Larry Overmire`s The Ancestry of
Overmire, Tefft, Richardson, Bradford, Reed` rootsweb website for
details of his Richardson descent. It seems He (Elliott) was also a
Bolles descendant.
Sincerely,
James W Cummings
